Managing the repository
Before you can create an application instance, install an application add-on, or update the appliance software, you must first add the applicable files to the repository.
To access the repository, sign in to the Flex Appliance Console and click the icon in the left-side navigation bar.
The Repository page consists of the following tabs:
Applications
Use this tab to manage your applications for creating and upgrading instances. The tab displays the applications that are in the repository and their versions.
Application add-ons
Use this tab to manage application add-ons for your instances. The tab displays the add-ons that are in the repository and details about each, such as type, version, revision, and the application they can be installed on.
Add-ons that belong to a package are grouped under a package row. The package row shows Package as the type, along with the package version, revision, and the number of add-ons that the package contains. Expand the package row to display its add-ons as indented child rows, or collapse the row to hide them. To view more information about a package or an add-on, select . Add-ons that do not have package metadata are listed as individual rows.
Appliance updates
Use this tab to manage update packages for Flex Appliance. The repository can only hold one update package at a time. The tab displays the package that is currently in the repository and details relevant to installing the update.
